In a further aspect, the present invention also relates to a fungicide composition comprising an effective and non-phytotoxic amount of an active compound of formula (I).

The expression “effective and non-phytotoxic amount” means an amount of composition according to the invention that is sufficient to control or destroy the fungi present or liable to appear on the crops and that does not entail any appreciable symptom of phytotoxicity for the said crops. Such an amount can vary within a wide range depending on the fungus to be controlled, the type of crop, the climatic conditions and the compounds included in the fungicide composition according to the invention. This amount can be determined by systematic field trials that are within the capabilities of a person skilled in the art.

Thus, according to the invention, there is provided a fungicide composition comprising, as an active ingredient, an effective amount of a compound of formula (I) as herein defined and an agriculturally acceptable support, carrier or filler.

According to the invention, the term “support” denotes a natural or synthetic, organic or inorganic compound with that the active compound of formula (I) is combined or associated to make it easier to apply, notably to the parts of the plant. This support is thus generally inert and should be agriculturally acceptable. The support can be a solid or a liquid. Examples of suitable supports include clays, natural or synthetic silicates, silica, resins, waxes, solid fertilisers, water, alcohols, in particular butanol, organic solvents, mineral and plant oils and derivatives thereof.

Preferably, surfactant content can be comprised from 5% to 40% by weight of the composition.

Optionally, additional components can also be included, e.g. protective colloids, adhesives, thickeners, thixotropic agents, penetration agents, stabilisers, sequestering agents. More generally, the active compounds can be combined with any solid or liquid additive, that complies with the usual formulation techniques.

The compounds of formula (I) and the fungicide composition according to the invention can be used to curatively or preventively control the phytopathogenic fungi of plants or crops.

Thus, according to a further aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for curatively or preventively controlling the phytopathogenic fungi of plants or crops characterised in that a compound of formula (I) or a fungicide composition according to the invention is applied to the seed, the plant or to the fruit of the plant or to the soil wherein the plant is growing or wherein it is desired to grow. The method of treatment according to the invention can also be useful to treat propagation material such as tubers or rhizomes, but also seeds, seedlings or seedlings pricking out and plants or plants pricking out. This method of treatment can also be useful to treat roots. The method of treatment according to the invention can also be useful to treat the overground parts of the plant such as trunks, stems or stalks, leaves, flowers and fruit of the concerned plant.

According to the invention all plants and plant parts can be treated. By plants is meant all plants and plant populations such as desirable and undesirable wild plants, cultivars and plant varieties (whether or not protectable by plant variety or plant breeder's rights). Cultivars and plant varieties can be plants obtained by conventional propagation and breeding methods which can be assisted or supplemented by one or more biotechnological methods such as by use of double haploids, protoplast fusion, random and directed mutagenesis, molecular or genetic markers or by bioengineering and genetic engineering methods. By plant parts is meant all above ground and below ground parts and organs of plants such as shoot, leaf, blossom and root, whereby for example leaves, needles, stems, branches, blossoms, fruiting bodies, fruits and seed as well as roots, corms and rhizomes are listed. Crops and vegetative and generative propagating material, for example cuttings, corms, rhizomes, runners and seeds also belong to plant parts.

Among the plants that can be protected by the method according to the invention, mention may be made of major field crops like corn, soybean, cotton, Brassica oilseeds such as Brassica napus (e.g. canola), Brassica rapa, B. juncea (e.g. mustard) and Brassica carinata, rice, wheat, sugarbeet, sugarcane, oats, rye, barley, millet, triticale, flax, vine and various fruits and vegetables of various botanical taxa such as Rosaceae sp. (for instance pip fruit such as apples and pears, but also stone fruit such as apricots, cherries, almonds and peaches, berry fruits such as strawberries), Ribesioidae sp., Juglandaceae sp., Betulaceae sp., Anacardiaceae sp., Fagaceae sp., Moraceae sp., Oleaceae sp., Actinidaceae sp., Lauraceae sp., Musaceae sp. (for instance banana trees and plantings), Rubiaceae sp. (for instance coffee), Theaceae sp., Sterculiceae sp., Rutaceae sp. (for instance lemons, oranges and grapefruit); Solanaceae sp. (for instance tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant), Liliaceae sp., Compositiae sp. (for instance lettuce, artichoke and chicory—including root chicory, endive or common chicory), Umbelliferae sp. (for instance carrot, parsley, celery and celeriac), Cucurbitaceae sp. (for instance cucumber—including pickling cucumber, squash, watermelon, gourds and melons), Alliaceae sp. (for instance onions and leek), Cruciferae sp. (for instance white cabbage, red cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, pak choi, kohlrabi, radish, horseradish, cress, Chinese cabbage), Leguminosae sp. (for instance peanuts, peas and beans beans—such as climbing beans and broad beans), Chenopodiaceae sp. (for instance mangold, spinach beet, spinach, beetroots), Malvaceae (for instance okra), Asparagaceae (for instance asparagus); horticultural and forest crops; ornamental plants; as well as genetically modified homologues of these crops.

The method of treatment according to the invention can be used in the treatment of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), e.g. plants or seeds. Genetically modified plants (or transgenic plants) are plants of which a heterologous gene has been stably integrated into genome. The expression “heterologous gene” essentially means a gene which is provided or assembled outside the plant and when introduced in the nuclear, chloroplastic or mitochondrial genome gives the transformed plant new or improved agronomic or other properties by expressing a protein or polypeptide of interest or by downregulating or silencing other gene(s) which are present in the plant (using for example, antisense technology, cosuppression technology or RNA interference—RNAi-technology). A heterologous gene that is located in the genome is also called a transgene. A transgene that is defined by its particular location in the plant genome is called a transformation or transgenic event.

Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to the invention may also result in superadditive (“synergistic”) effects. Thus, for example, reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or an increase in the activity of the active compounds and compositions which can be used according to the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, bigger fruits, larger plant height, greener leaf color, earlier flowering, higher quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, higher sugar concentration within the fruits, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products are possible, which exceed the effects which were actually to be expected.

At certain application rates, the active compound combinations according to the invention may also have a strengthening effect in plants. Accordingly, they are also suitable for mobilizing the defense system of the plant against attack by unwanted microorganisms. This may, if appropriate, be one of the reasons of the enhanced activity of the combinations according to the invention, for example against fungi. Plant-strengthening (resistance-inducing) substances are to be understood as meaning, in the present context, those substances or combinations of substances which are capable of stimulating the defense system of plants in such a way that, when subsequently inoculated with unwanted microorganisms, the treated plants display a substantial degree of resistance to these microorganisms. In the present case, unwanted microorganisms are to be understood as meaning phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and viruses. Thus, the substances according to the invention can be employed for protecting plants against attack by the abovementioned pathogens within a certain period of time after the treatment. The period of time within which protection is effected generally extends from 1 to 10 days, preferably 1 to 7 days, after the treatment of the plants with the active compounds.

Plants and plant cultivars which are preferably to be treated according to the invention include all plants which have genetic material which impart particularly advantageous, useful traits to these plants (whether obtained by breeding and/or biotechnological means).

Plants and plant cultivars which are also preferably to be treated according to the invention are resistant against one or more biotic stresses, i.e. said plants show a better defense against animal and microbial pests, such as against nematodes, insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria, viruses and/or viroids.

Examples of nematode resistant plants are described in e.g. U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 11/765,491, 11/765,494, 10/926,819, 10/782,020, 12/032,479, 10/783,417, 10/782,096, 11/657,964, 12/192,904, 11/396,808, 12/166,253, 12/166,239, 12/166,124, 12/166,209, 11/762,886, 12/364,335, 11/763,947, 12/252,453, 12/209,354, 12/491,396 or 12/497,221.

Plants and plant cultivars which may also be treated according to the invention are those plants which are resistant to one or more abiotic stresses. Abiotic stress conditions may include, for example, drought, cold temperature exposure, heat exposure, osmotic stress, flooding, increased soil salinity, increased mineral exposure, ozone exposure, high light exposure, limited availability of nitrogen nutrients, limited availability of phosphorus nutrients, shade avoidance.

Plants and plant cultivars which may also be treated according to the invention, are those plants characterized by enhanced yield characteristics. Increased yield in said plants can be the result of, for example, improved plant physiology, growth and development, such as water use efficiency, water retention efficiency, improved nitrogen use, enhanced carbon assimilation, improved photosynthesis, increased germination efficiency and accelerated maturation. Yield can furthermore be affected by improved plant architecture (under stress and non-stress conditions), including but not limited to, early flowering, flowering control for hybrid seed production, seedling vigor, plant size, internode number and distance, root growth, seed size, fruit size, pod size, pod or ear number, seed number per pod or ear, seed mass, enhanced seed filling, reduced seed dispersal, reduced pod dehiscence and lodging resistance. Further yield traits include seed composition, such as carbohydrate content, protein content, oil content and composition, nutritional value, reduction in anti-nutritional compounds, improved processability and better storage stability.

Examples of plants with the above-mentioned traits are non-exhaustively listed in Table A.

Plants that may be treated according to the invention are hybrid plants that already express the characteristic of heterosis or hybrid vigor which results in generally higher yield, vigor, health and resistance towards biotic and abiotic stresses). Such plants are typically made by crossing an inbred male-sterile parent line (the female parent) with another inbred male-fertile parent line (the male parent). Hybrid seed is typically harvested from the male sterile plants and sold to growers. Male sterile plants can sometimes (e.g. in corn) be produced by detasseling, i.e. the mechanical removal of the male reproductive organs (or males flowers) but, more typically, male sterility is the result of genetic determinants in the plant genome. In that case, and especially when seed is the desired product to be harvested from the hybrid plants it is typically useful to ensure that male fertility in the hybrid plants is fully restored. This can be accomplished by ensuring that the male parents have appropriate fertility restorer genes which are capable of restoring the male fertility in hybrid plants that contain the genetic determinants responsible for male-sterility. Genetic determinants for male sterility may be located in the cytoplasm. Examples of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) were for instance described in Brassica species (WO 92/05251, WO 95/09910, WO 98/27806, WO 05/002324, WO 06/021972 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,229,072). However, genetic determinants for male sterility can also be located in the nuclear genome. Male sterile plants can also be obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering. A particularly useful means of obtaining male-sterile plants is described in WO 89/10396 in which, for example, a ribonuclease such as barnase is selectively expressed in the tapetum cells in the stamens. Fertility can then be restored by expression in the tapetum cells of a ribonuclease inhibitor such as barstar (e.g. WO 91/02069).

Plants or plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may be treated according to the invention are herbicide-tolerant plants, i.e. plants made tolerant to one or more given herbicides. Such plants can be obtained either by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants containing a mutation imparting such herbicide tolerance.

Herbicide-resistant plants are for example glyphosate-tolerant plants, i.e. plants made tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate or salts thereof. Plants can be made tolerant to glyphosate through different means. For example, glyphosate-tolerant plants can be obtained by transforming the plant with a gene encoding the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). Examples of such EPSPS genes are the AroA gene (mutant CT7) of the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium (Comai et al., 1983, Science 221, 370-371), the CP4 gene of the bacterium Agrobacterium sp. (Barry et al., 1992, Curr. Topics Plant Physiol. 7, 139-145), the genes encoding a Petunia EPSPS (Shah et al., 1986, Science 233, 478-481), a Tomato EPSPS (Gasser et al., 1988, J. Biol. Chem. 263, 4280-4289), or an Eleusine EPSPS (WO 01/66704). It can also be a mutated EPSPS as described in for example EP 0837944, WO 00/66746, WO 00/66747 or WO02/26995. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene that encodes a glyphosate oxido-reductase enzyme as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,776,760 and 5,463,175. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene that encodes a glyphosate acetyl transferase enzyme as described in for example WO 02/36782, WO 03/092360, WO 05/012515 and WO 07/024782. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by selecting plants containing naturally-occurring mutations of the above-mentioned genes, as described in for example WO 01/024615 or WO 03/013226. Plants expressing EPSPS genes that confer glyphosate tolerance are described in e.g. U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 11/517,991, 10/739,610, 12/139,408, 12/352,532, 11/312,866, 11/315,678, 12/421,292, 11/400,598, 11/651,752, 11/681,285, 11/605,824, 12/468,205, 11/760,570, 11/762,526, 11/769,327, 11/769,255, 11/943,801 or 12/362,774. Plants comprising other genes that confer glyphosate tolerance, such as decarboxylase genes, are described in e.g. U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 11/588,811, 11/185,342, 12/364,724, 11/185,560 or 12/423,926.

Other herbicide resistant plants are for example plants that are made tolerant to herbicides inhibiting the enzyme glutamine synthase, such as bialaphos, phosphinothricin or glufosinate. Such plants can be obtained by expressing an enzyme detoxifying the herbicide or a mutant glutamine synthase enzyme that is resistant to inhibition, e.g. described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/760,602. One such efficient detoxifying enzyme is an enzyme encoding a phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (such as the bar or pat protein from Streptomyces species). Plants expressing an exogenous phosphinothricin acetyltransferase are for example described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,561,236; 5,648,477; 5,646,024; 5,273,894; 5,637,489; 5,276,268; 5,739,082; 5,908,810 and 7,112,665.

Further herbicide-tolerant plants are also plants that are made tolerant to the herbicides inhibiting the enzyme hydroxyphenylpyruvatedioxygenase (HPPD). Hydroxyphenylpyruvatedioxygenases are enzymes that catalyze the reaction in which para-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (HPP) is transformed into homogentisate. Plants tolerant to HPPD-inhibitors can be transformed with a gene encoding a naturally-occurring resistant HPPD enzyme, or a gene encoding a mutated or chimeric HPPD enzyme as described in WO 96/38567, WO 99/24585, WO 99/24586, WO 2009/144079, WO 2002/046387, or U.S. Pat. No. 6,768,044.

Tolerance to HPPD-inhibitors can also be obtained by transforming plants with genes encoding certain enzymes enabling the formation of homogentisate despite the inhibition of the native HPPD enzyme by the HPPD-inhibitor. Such plants and genes are described in WO 99/34008 and WO 02/36787. Tolerance of plants to HPPD inhibitors can also be improved by transforming plants with a gene encoding an enzyme having prephenate deshydrogenase (PDH) activity in addition to a gene encoding an HPPD-tolerant enzyme, as described in WO 2004/024928. Further, plants can be made more tolerant to HPPD-inhibitor herbicides by adding into their genome a gene encoding an enzyme capable of metabolizing or degrading HPPD inhibitors, such as the CYP450 enzymes shown in WO 2007/103567 and WO 2008/150473.

Still further herbicide resistant plants are plants that are made tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors. Known ALS-inhibitors include, for example, sulfonylurea, imidazolinone, triazolopyrimidines, pryimidinyoxy(thio)benzoates, and/or sulfonylaminocarbonyltriazolinone herbicides. Different mutations in the ALS enzyme (also known as acetohydroxyacid synthase, AHAS) are known to confer tolerance to different herbicides and groups of herbicides, as described for example in Tranel and Wright (2002, Weed Science 50:700-712), but also, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,605,011, 5,378,824, 5,141,870, and 5,013,659. The production of sulfonylurea-tolerant plants and imidazolinone-tolerant plants is described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,605,011; 5,013,659; 5,141,870; 5,767,361; 5,731,180; 5,304,732; 4,761,373; 5,331,107; 5,928,937; and 5,378,824; and international publication WO 96/33270. Other imidazolinone-tolerant plants are also described in for example WO 2004/040012, WO 2004/106529, WO 2005/020673, WO 2005/093093, WO 2006/007373, WO 2006/015376, WO 2006/024351, and WO 2006/060634. Further sulfonylurea- and imidazolinone-tolerant plants are also described in for example WO 07/024782 and U.S. Patent Application No. 61/288,958.

Other plants tolerant to imidazolinone and/or sulfonylurea can be obtained by induced mutagenesis, selection in cell cultures in the presence of the herbicide or mutation breeding as described for example for soybeans in U.S. Pat. No. 5,084,082, for rice in WO 97/41218, for sugar beet in U.S. Pat. No. 5,773,702 and WO 99/057965, for lettuce in U.S. Pat. No. 5,198,599, or for sunflower in WO 01/065922.

Plants or plant cultivars (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention are insect-resistant transgenic plants, i.e. plants made resistant to attack by certain target insects. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants containing a mutation imparting such insect resistance.

Of course, an insect-resistant transgenic plant, as used herein, also includes any plant comprising a combination of genes encoding the proteins of any one of the above classes 1 to 10. In one embodiment, an insect-resistant plant contains more than one transgene encoding a protein of any one of the above classes 1 to 10, to expand the range of target insect species affected when using different proteins directed at different target insect species, or to delay insect resistance development to the plants by using different proteins insecticidal to the same target insect species but having a different mode of action, such as binding to different receptor binding sites in the insect.

Table 3 provides the NMR data (¹H) of a selected number of compounds from table 1 or table 2.

The ¹H-NMR data (at 400 Mhz in DMSO-d₆) of selected examples are stated in the form of ¹H-NMR peak lists. For each signal peak, the δ value in ppm and the signal intensity in brackets are listed.

Intensity of sharp signals correlates with the height of the signals in a printed example of a NMR spectrum in cm and shows the real relations of signal intensities. From broad signals several peaks or the middle of the signal and their relative intensity in comparison to the most intensive signal in the spectrum can be shown.

The ¹H-NMR peak lists are similar to classical ¹H-NMR prints and contain therefore usually all peaks, which are listed at classical NMR-interpretation. Additionally they can show like classical ¹H-NMR prints signals of solvents, stereoisomers of the target compounds, which are also object of the invention, and/or peaks of impurities. To show compound signals in the delta-range of solvents and/or water the usual peaks of solvents, for example peaks of DMSO in DMSO-d6 and the peak of water are shown in our ¹H-NMR peak lists and have usually on average a high intensity.

The peaks of stereoisomers of the target compounds and/or peaks of impurities have usually on average a lower intensity than the peaks of target compounds (for example with a purity >90%). Such stereoisomers and/or impurities can be typical for the specific preparation process. Therefore their peaks can help to recognize the reproduction of our preparation process via “side-products-fingerprints”.

An expert, who calculates the peaks of the target compounds with known methods (MestreC, ACD-simulation, but also with empirically evaluated expectation values), can isolate the peaks of the target compounds as needed optionally using additional intensity filters. This isolation would be similar to relevant peak picking at classical ¹H-NMR interpretation.

Further details of NMR-data description with peak lists can be found in the publication “Citation of NMR Peaklist Data within Patent Applications” of the Research Disclosure Database Number 564025.

To 4 mL of cyclopropylamine is added 1 g (3.9 mmol) of 1-(bromomethyl)-5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene. The reaction mixture is stirred for 3 hours at 50° C. The excess of cyclopropylamine is removed under vacuum and the residue is dissolved in 20 mL of dichloromethane. 20 mL of water are added and the watery phase is extracted twice by 20 mL of dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts are then washed by 3×10 mL of a 10% aqueous solution of HCl. The combined acidic extracts are basified back to pH=14 and reextracted by 3×20 mL of dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts are filtered over a phase-separator filter and concentrated under vacuum to yield 230 mg (23%) of N-[(5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)methyl]cyclopropanamine as an oil. (M+H)=232

Step 2: Preparation of N-cyclopropyl-3-(difluoromethyl)-5-fluoro-N-[(5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)methyl]-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide

At ambient temperature, a solution of 96 mg (0.45 mmol) of 3-(difluoromethyl)-5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonyl chloride in 2 mL of dry tetrahydrofurane is added to a mixture of 100 mg (0.43 mmol) of N-[(5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)methyl]cyclopropanamine and 0.066 mL (0.47 mmol) of triethylamine in 3 mL of dry tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture is stirred for one night at room temperature. The reaction mixture is filtered and the solvent is removed under vacuum to give 239 mg of residue. Purification of the residue by preparative HPLC (gradient acetonitrile/water+0.1% HCO₂H) yields 134 mg (72% yield) of N-cyclopropyl-3-(difluoromethyl)-5-fluoro-N-[(5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)methyl]-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide as an oil. (M+H)=408.

Preparation Example 2: Preparation of N-cyclopropyl-3-(difluoromethyl)-N-[(5,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)methyl]-5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (compound 1.37) Step 1: Preparation of 5,7-dimethyl-1-methylene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene

To a cooled solution of 34.8 g (95.5 mmol) of methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide in 500 mL of tetrahydrofuran are added 10.7 g (95.5 mmol) of potassium tert-butoxide. After 10 min of stirring at 0° C., a solution of 14.3 g (79.6 mmol) of 5,7-dimethyl-1-tetralone in 180 mL of tetrahydrofuran is slowly added. The reaction mixture is further stirred at 0° C. for 30 min then at room temperature for 30 min. The reaction mixture is neutralized by a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride and extracted using dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts are washed by a saturated aqueous solution of NaCl and dried over magnesium sulfate. Concentration under vacuum gives 40.3 g of a residue that is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (heptane) to yield 13.6 g (94% yield) of 5,7-dimethyl-1-methylene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene as a colorless liquid: (M+H)=173.

Step 2: Preparation of (5,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)methanol

To a cooled solution of 13.6 g (78.9 mmol) of 5,7-dimethyl-1-methylene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene in 500 mL of tetrahydrofuran are added 8.34 g (97.0 mmol) of the borane-tetrahydrofuran complex as a 1M solution in tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour. To the reaction mixture at 0° C., are then added 97 mL of methanol followed by 49 mL of a 1N solution of sodium hydroxide and 49 mL of a 35% wt. solution of hydrogen peroxide. The reaction mixture is left to stand overnight at room temperature. After extraction using dichloromethane, the combined organic extracts are washed by a saturated aqueous solution of NaCl and dried over magnesium sulfate. Concentration under vacuum yields 13.0 g (86% yield) of (5,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)methanol as a white solid: (M+H−H₂O)=173.

Step 3: Preparation of 5,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde

To a cooled solution of 12.0 g (63.2 mmol) of (5,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)methanol in 120 mL of dichloromethane are slowly added 270 g (94.8 mmol) of the Dess-Martin periodinane reagent as a 15% wt. solution in dichloromethane. The reaction mixture is stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. An aqueous solution of 8.0 g (94.8 mmol) of sodium hydrogen carbonate is then added and the obtained white precipitate is filtered off. The organic layer is concentrated to leave 11.6 g of a residue that is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (heptane/ethyl acetate 9/1) to yield 8.25 g (66% yield) of 5,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde as a yellow liquid: (M+H)=189.

Step 4: Preparation of N-[(5,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)methyl]cyclopropanamine (compound IIf.13)

To a solution of 4.0 g (21.2 mmol) of 5,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde in 40 mL of methanol are added 4.0 g of 3 Å molecular sieves followed by addition of 2.47 g (42.5 mmol) of cyclopropylamine and slow addition of 3.19 g (53.1 mmol) of acetic acid. The reaction mixture is stirred for 90 min at reflux. The reaction mixture is then cooled to 0° C. and 2.0 g (31.9 mmol) of sodium cyanoborohydride are slowly added. The reaction mixture is further stirred for 2 hours at reflux. The cooled reaction mixture is filtered over a cake of diatomaceous earth and the cake is washed using ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase is extracted by ethyl acetate and the combined organic extracts are washed by a 1N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide followed by a saturated aqueous solution of NaCl and dried over magnesium sulfate. Vacuum concentration leaves 4.6 g of a yellow oil that is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (gradient heptane/ethyl acetate) to yield 2.0 g (39% yield) of N-[(5,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)methyl]cyclopropanamine as a yellow liquid: (M+H)=230.

Step 5: Preparation of N-cyclopropyl-3-(difluoromethyl)-N-[(5,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)methyl]-5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide

100 mg (0.43 mmol) of N-[(5,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)methyl]cyclopropanamine are reacted with 97 mg (0.45 mmol) of 3-(difluoromethyl)-5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonyl chloride according to the preparation example 1—step 2, to yield 167 mg (95% yield) of N-cyclopropyl-3-(difluoro-methyl)-N-[(5,7-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)methyl]-5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide. (M+H=406).

General Preparation Example 3: Thionation of Amide of Formula (I) on Chemspeed™ Apparatus

In a 13 mL Chemspeed™ vial is weighted 0.27 mmol of phosphorous pentasulfide (P₂S₅). 3 mL of a 0.18 M solution of the amide (I) (0.54 mmol) in dioxane is added and the mixture is heated at reflux for two hours. The temperature is then cooled to 80° C. and 2.5 mL of water are added. The mixture is heated at 80° C. for one more hour. 2 mL of water are then added and the reaction mixture is extracted twice by 4 mL of dichloromethane.

Example A: In Vivo Preventive Test on Sphaerotheca fuliginea (Cucumber)

Solvent: 49 parts by weight of N,N-dimethylformamide Emulsifier:  1 part by weight of alkylarylpolyglycol ether

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amounts of solvent and emulsifier, and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.

To test for preventive activity, young plants are sprayed with the preparation of active compound at the stated rate of application. One day after this treatment, the plants are inoculated with an aqueous spore suspension of Sphaerotheca fuliginea. Then the plants are placed in a greenhouse at approximately 23° C. and a relative atmospheric humidity of approximately 70%.

The test is evaluated 7 days after the inoculation. 0% means an efficacy which corresponds to that of the untreated control, while an efficacy of 100% means that no disease is observed.

Under these conditions, high (at least 90%) protection is observed at a dose of 100 ppm of active ingredient with the following compounds from table A1:

TABLE A1 Example Efficacy I.23 94 I.33 94

Under the same conditions, excellent (at least 90%) protection is observed at a dose of 100 ppm of active ingredient with compound of example 1.23 and compound of example 1.33, whereas weak (less than 10%) to no protection is observed with the compounds of examples 1.2, 1.8 and 1.13 disclosed in patent application WO-2010/086311 as in table A2:

TABLE A2 Example dose (ppm) Efficacy I.23 from this patent 100 94 I.33 from this patent 100 94 1.2 from WO-2010/086311 100 0 1.8 from WO-2010/086311 100 0 1.13 from WO-2010/086311 100 8

Example 1.2 disclosed in international patent WO-2010/086311 corresponds to N-cyclopropyl-5-fluoro-1,3-dimethyl-N-[1-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide.

Example 1.8 disclosed in international patent WO-2010/086311 corresponds to N-cyclopropyl-N-[(2,2-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-4-yl)methyl]-3-ethyl-5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide.

Example 1.13 disclosed in international patent WO-2010/086311 corresponds to N-cyclopropyl-3-(difluoromethyl)-N-[(2,2-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-4-yl)methyl]-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide.

These results show that the compounds according to the invention have a much better biological activity than the structurally closest compounds disclosed in WO-2010/086311.
